I just started supplementing holle -stage 2 to my 6.5 month old and I am wondering if it is making my son constipated because after he has his early afternoon bottle of it… he does not pass stool Til after I breast feed him the next morning ( still breastfeeding morning and night to start the weaning process). Is there something you recommend if this stays an issue? A different formula or different level? Or do you think it just takes some time to get used to? Thank you in advance !

I would give it at least 2 weeks. Does he seem content? If so, I would not worry about the changes in his bowel movements. If he is uncomfortable you could start him on a probiotic, or after 2 weeks try a different formula. Stage 2 does have more iron than stage 1, and iron can cause constipation. Perhaps if you decide to make a change switch to a stage 1 formula.

My son has been on Hipp 1 since 7 weeks old. He will be 6 months old this Thursday. He drinks on average 4-5 oz every 3 hours and wakes up twice in the night to eat. I also make him homemade rice cereal, vegetables and fruits. He eats that twice per day. I am wondering if he needs something more satisfying. I also read about the higher content of aluminum In Hipp so I am now also wondering if I should switch him to Holle? Any advice would be great. Thank you😊

Hi Maura! I recommend boiling a large batch of water and mixing enough formula powder for the day. When my son was in daycare, I used the Dr. Brown’s mixing pitcher to prepare a large batch each day, which I would then pour into individual bottles. I would store any leftover mixed formula in the fridge for up to 24 hours. https://www.amazon.com/Dr-Browns-Formula-Mixing-Pitcher/dp/B001I481LM Hope this helps!

Hi I currently use Lebenswert. The pediatrician advised to select a more sensitive/hypoallergenic formula version (milk proteins hydrolyzed; soy-free). Which formula would you recommend? Is Lebenswert one of the cleanest/simplest? What are your thoughts on Pre-holle?

Most would use Hipp Pre-HA Hypoallergenic. This formula contains small amounts of protein components which are less foreign to the body, and reduce hypersensitivity to milk protein. But it would be best to consult your pediatrician.

How do I figure out how many servings to meet the nutritional facts? My 6 month old only has 1-2 4 oz bottles of Lebenswerts per day (the rest is breastmilk). Is she getting the recommended amount of daily iron? Thanks for any info!

For the first 6 months of life, breastfed babies will get what they need from their mother’s milk. She is getting more than enough amount of daily iron especially you are supplementing her with Lebenswert Stage 2.

I have been exclusively breastfeeding my son for 6 months but want to begin to wean him off. Do you recommend using stage 1 or 2? Also, I thought the Lebenswert didn’t have melodextrin in it, but if I am understanding this correctly the stage 2 does have it in it?
